My two first months in United States were really good and at the same time very hard. First of all, you have to get used with the food (it's terrible), the people (in general are friendly and easygoing), the place (beautiful, cold, warm, beach, urban, all these things together). In my opinion the food is the worst part. In my country, I usually eat healthy food, fresh fruits and vegetables, cereals etc. But here in United States, healthy food is expensive and the fast food is very cheap. Also when you eat a similar food it doesn't have the same taste...sounds funny!
I am fascinated with the new place, new beaches and landscapes, new people (for all places in the world), new school... Actually, I came with a goal, which was to learn English and be fluent in this language - that's my goal and I can't waste my time or my money. You can say it is the most common goal for a lot of people, can be, but many students forget this, others come to work and save money, others come to travel and spend a good time. It all depends...
Fortunately, I'm on my way. I'm studying and watching tv... I've read some books and now I can listen and understand better the songs in the radio- it's amazing. In my jiu jitsu classes I talk with Americans all the time. I've meet students from many places in the world and my English is getting better day by day. I know people from Turkey, Korea, Sweden, Japan, Greece, Russia, Spain, Saudi Arabian, Japan and China...
